Cloud Services
With cloud services, your business no longer needs to invest in local servers, personnel for this, or other infrastructure. All you need to create a functional workplace is an internet connection. These services provide a flexible and cost-effective solution that can be tailored to your company's specific needs and preferences.
What are Cloud Services?
Cloud services for businesses are characterized by user access to systems, services, and storage from various types of devices, whether you're working in the office or remotely. All it requires is an internet connection and access to create a functional workplace.
Cloud services are generally divided into three levels. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), which includes virtual machines, servers, storage, and backup. PaaS (Platform as a Service), which includes databases, web servers, and development tools. SaaS (Software as a Service), which includes services like email tools, Microsoft 365, CRM tools, and financial systems.

How we move your
business to the public cloud
To start using cloud services, your business must undergo a migration. This involves moving your services and data to the cloud. Here's how Nordlo helps prepare you for the transition to the public cloud:

2
Analysis to find the right cloud solution for you

Through interviews and conversations, we ensure and confirm that our conclusions align with employees' perspectives on the business.
3
Migration to the cloud and training for employees

4
Support with operation and management for public cloud services
We ensure to support you by managing the operation and administration of your new services in the public cloud. We make sure you utilize your cloud services to the fullest and are always there if something happens.
Which cloud service suits me?
Given the vast amount of data a company generates and consumes daily, handling it locally becomes both expensive and time-consuming. The solution is to have operations, storage, and infrastructure elsewhere than in your own server room. Here, a private, public, or hybrid cloud solution can be used.
What is the public cloud?
Microsoft explains the public cloud as something owned and managed by a third-party provider and purchased through licenses. Services are accessed via a web browser and are open and available for all businesses to use. Examples of public cloud services are email via Outlook or Gmail, file storage via OneDrive, and collaboration platforms like Teams and Slack.

What is the private cloud?
With private cloud services, your IT environment is hosted on a private network, with hardware and software exclusive to your business. This makes it easier to customize resources and functionality to specific IT requirements and needs. Private cloud solutions are particularly suitable for companies with high demands on availability and security, often related to sensitive or confidential information.

What is the hybrid cloud?
A hybrid cloud solution combines modern and innovative solutions in the public cloud with the security and proximity found on-premises. You benefit from the advantages of the public cloud while retaining the parts that may be difficult to move due to technical or legal reasons in the private cloud.
Pros and cons of cloud services in practice
The main advantages of cloud services lie in their scalability and enormous innovative power. With cloud storage, your data is protected even if something happens to your computer, and your IT provider ensures that your services are updated and maintained continuously. Once you're up and running, you also have a fixed cost for operations, maintenance, storage, and security, which makes budgeting easier. You will save time and money, allowing you to focus wholeheartedly on your core business.
Since different cloud services are so flexible and adaptable to companies of various sizes, challenges, and needs, there are no common disadvantages to moving all or part of your business to the cloud. However, there are risks if the migration is not done correctly from the start. A poorly executed migration can result in insecure systems and a more expensive service that works poorly. Therefore, it is crucial to have a partner with extensive experience in cloud solutions and migration, so everything is done correctly from the beginning.
